If you like Black Sabbath then you should listen to this., October 26, 1998

The first time I heard Pentagram it was this record, and I was sold directly. The sound is doomy with the singers high voice, somewhat false but that just adds to the great music. It sometimes reminds of the desperation that could be heard in some of the Ozzy-Sabbath tunes.
This is a must for doom-music fans and Sabbath fans

Relentless, indeed..., December 19, 2000
This review is from: Relentless//Day of Reckoning (Audio CD)
It just doesn't get any better than this for Sabbath-influenced fuzz-metal. If you worship the first four Sabbath albums (and who doesn't??) then you really need to own this one. Stylistically, Pentagram manages to reproduce the older Sabbath sound without making a feeble copy of it. (The production is cleaned up a bit, and you should really hear the vinyl edition for some heavy sludge.) The first lp has the same sound as "Sabbath Vol. IV', as if your head is right next to the speaker cabinets.
Every time I whip this thing out, I have to play it all, and usually not just once! Tracks like "The Ghoul" and "All Your Sins" have never been equalled by any other Sabbath-influenced band in my book, and I have consistently blown the minds of everyone I've played this gem for. And "Sinister" is by far the most convincingly creepy metal song ever.
If you don't own this, and none of your friends do either, get it. You'll be the envy of them all.
